VICTAS and TSP share a rich history. The company that would become TSP in 1946 originally started in Japan in the 1930s as a manufacturer of celluloid table tennis balls. In 1970 TSP developed the iconic Spectol short pips, which remained a preferred choice for many players over the decades. VICTAS was established in 2009 as a luxury brand within TSPs parent company, Yamato Takkyu Co, with legendary Japanese defender Koji Matsushita becoming its representative director. In 2017, the parent company was renamed VICTAS, featuring both Victas and TSP as parallel brands. By spring of 2021, the two brands under the VICTAS name. Victas produces several high-end products such as the V>22 Double Extra and V>20 Double Extra rubbers, and the... Koki Niwa, Liam Pitchford and Koji Matsushita blade series. Their range also includes inverted rubbers like the V>15, V>11, and Triple series; short pips like the VO>, Spinpips, and Spectol series; and the Curl long pips series. Victas’ blade line-up also includes the ZX-Gear, Fire Fall, and Swat series, the latter being a best-seller in Japan. Victas sponsors many Japanese top-players, including Koki Niwa (2015 and 2017 World Championships Men’s Doubles bronze medalist, multiple teams medalist at Olympic Games and World Championships), as well as international stars like Liam Pitchford, Jang Woojin, Han Ying, Bruna Takahashi, and Ni Xia Lian Did you know that Victas means “tomorrow’s winner” and “TSP” originally stood for Takashi Suzuki (the company’s founder), and “Peace”, although recent branding suggests it stood for “Total Support for all Players”?
